1. Introduction to Online Course Selling (00:01–01:30):
   • Many creators wonder where and how to sell their courses after creating them.

   • Plan whether you’re building a course-only offering or a full-fledged educational ecosystem, including community support and additional resources.
3. Choosing Your Business Model (08:01–10:04):
   • Options include single-course purchases, membership models, or a blended approach (e.g., one-time purchases plus memberships).
   • Reflect on whether you’re building an education business (e.g., community, certifications, and course paths) or just selling standalone courses.
4. WordPress-based Platforms (11:06–16:46):

6. Community-Oriented Platforms (24:24–25:31):
